Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Some people call it one of the most haunted towns in America: Rugby, Tennessee, nestled in the quiet corners of Northeast Tennessee. Founded in 1880 by the renowned author Thomas Hughes, Rugby was envisioned as a Utopian village, a beacon of harmonious living. However, Hughes' dreams were dashed, and tragedy struck when typhoid fever claimed the lives of many early inhabitants.

Today, Rugby stands frozen in time, its Victorian charm preserved amidst the rolling hills and whispers of the past. Its population is just 75, perhaps more if you count the spirits that allegedly linger among its quaint streets. For those intrigued by the paranormal, Rugby offers an irresistible invitation. Here, the veil between the worlds is said to be thin, with hauntings reported in almost every building in this tiny town where the past is alive, and the spirits roam freely.

Today on The Grave Talks, we explore the ghosts of the Historic Rugby Village with Miranda Young. This is Part Two of our conversation.

0:32.6	And so this house is technically three houses that was put together.
0:42.1	And they built this for her not very long in early 1881 after she had come to the area. And so we get a lot of different things that

1:33.1	came.
1:34.3	There's also somebody that runs up on the second floor.
1:40.1	And they tend to, I mean, we've even had people put motion lights up there and or motion detectors.
1:50.5	And when you hear running, it'll set the motion detectors off.
1:54.9	So Uffington is one that we do get a lot of activity from.
